Z1000 A1 A2 rear hub disassembly

#1 PostAuthor: spondonges » Sun Jul 08, 2012 9:20 am

Does anyone know how to take off the steel chrome plated spoke ring from the rear hub (spoked wire wheel) ??Is it an interference fit or is there a screw fixing hidden in it somewhere to release it??
Need to get it off to get rechromed :?: :?:

These are impossible to remove. I have tried heat, freezing - nothing will budge them. You could clean it up a and spray with a chrome finish.

they can be removed but it is not a DIY job i had one removed years ago by a local engineering company who specialised in manufacturing old British bike crankshafts. they removed it with the use of a 50 ton press. they had to make a support to fit on the inside of the hub so the the chrome ring was supported then the hub was pressed through the chrome ring

I thought as AdrianH did..... That the chrome piece could not be separated...
One of my many bad decisions! I was proved wrong! Z1Bman's 50 ton press is probably the answer!
